Pastor, do you ever struggle with feelings of guilt or inadequacy for how you're providing financially for your family?

For way too many years I did. I adopted a very traditional model of "full-time ministry" in which nearly 100% of my financial support was dependent upon a local church. I remember so many times standing in line at the checkout register, holding my breath to see if we had enough in the checking account for our groceries that week.

I've come to realize there is a much healthier way/model. I am a co-founder of EntrePastors, a platform that helps pastors achieve financial freedom through launching an entrepreneurial business of their own in the marketplace. It has been so rewarding to see pastors create new streams of revenue that are not reliant upon the donations of others, and at the same time discovering many new doors for ministry opening up when they get out of the church office and out into the marketplace.

If this is something you would like help with, let's set up a time to connect and explore what that could look like for you.

Did you know the average millionaire has at least 7 different sources of income/revenue?

At EntrePastors, we believe it's healthy for pastors to not be 100% dependent (financially) upon the churches they serve. We help pastors launch entrepreneurial businesses in the marketplace as a way of DIVERSIFYING their income and offering more financial stability to their families (and churches).

Do you know any pastors who could benefit by this type of help? If so, please tell them about us!

Unlocking the 7 Pillars of Life as Pastors

Recently, we dove into Dan Martell's book "Buy Back Your Time," and one section struck a chord — the 7 Pillars of Life. It's all about the 7 Pillars of Life that we, as pastors and entrepreneurs, need to invest in to lead fulfilling lives.

1️⃣ Building Deeper Friendships: Let's intentionally foster relationships that uplift us, just as Jesus valued His disciples.

2️⃣ Prioritizing Family: Ministry is vital, but family comes first. Let's not leave them holding the rock while we work.

3️⃣ Spiritual Growth: Ministry isn't enough; we must nurture our own spiritual well-being apart from our service.

4️⃣ Physical Health: A long-term investment in health pays off more than quick fixes. Small steps go a long way!

5️⃣ Hobbies for Joy: Yes, we're busy, but carving time for hobbies rejuvenates us. What's your favorite hobby?

6️⃣ Financial Planning: Whether little or much, managing money is crucial. Entrepreneurs can impact both earnings and service!

7️⃣ Defining Purpose: Reflecting on our "why" and mission brings clarity to our journey. Let's strive for purpose-driven lives!

Remember, investing in ourselves helps us better serve our churches and businesses. Which pillar resonates with you most?

Recently, we finished reading the book, Buy Back Your Time by Dan Martell. Toward the end of his book Dan shares what he calls the 7 Pillars of Life and talks about how we need to be making investments into every one of these areas.

Being a bi-vocational pastor allows you to care for your family, grow your skills, and become an even better shepherd. By utilizing all your God-given talents while embracing different avenues of income, you can make a positive impact both inside and outside the church.

Following God's calling into ministry doesn't mean you have to live a life of scarcity and meagerness. We believe God is a God of abundance who gave you multiple talents to build and serve His Kingdom. But what does the Bible say about that?
